Three of seven wards in Peace River School Division will see the same faces serving on the board of trustees for the next four years.
In Ward 1 (Nampa, Peace River, Red Earth Creek) Marie Dyck is acclaimed.
In Ward 6 (Fairview, Rural Fairview) David Rushton returns for another term.
And in Ward 7 (Hines Creek, Rural Hines Creek, Bear Canyon, Cleardale, Clear Hills) Edith Giesbrecht returns.
Four other seats are being contested. In Ward 2 (Peace River, Rural Peace River, Three Creeks) Wanda Laurin opposes Crystal Owens, who is the incumbent.
Ward 3 (Weberville, Dixonville, Deadwood, Manning, Hawk Hills) also sees two people challenging for the seat including Lacey Buchinski and Sharmon Pierson, the former being the incumbent.
Ward 4 (Peace River, Rural Peace River, Grimshaw, Shaftesbury) sees Moise Dion opposed by Paul Quinney. Dion is the incumbent and was disqualified by the board of trustees during the last term before Court of King’s Bench reinstated him ruling that PRSD erred in law interpretation.
Ward 5 (Grimshaw, Rural Grimshaw, Rural Fairview, Berwyn, Brownvale, Whitelaw, Bluesky, Deer Hills) has three competing for council including Carolyn Gerk, Cindy Hockley and Janet Przybylski. Lori Leitch did not seek re-election.
